The Gibraltar Vikings track teams posted plenty of top-three performances, but only two leaped to the top of the podium at Monday's Door County Classic.

Braden Sitte won the event with a personal best high jump of six feet. He also finished runner-up in the 100m, 200m, and long jump.

McKailey Reisen raced to a win in the 100m hurdles and leaped to the top spot in the high jump.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings baseball team responded to a 4-1 loss in game one to the Southern Door Eagles with a 10-8 win in the second contest.

In game one, the Eagles' Will Jandrin kept the Vikings under wraps in his complete game. He allowed one run on six hits while striking out two. Jaxin Lindgren drove in that run in the second inning, but the Vikings' offense could not muster much else. Tyler Neinas led the Eagles' offensively, going 1-3 and driving in two runs in the win. Nick Beck, Braylon Berg, and Gage Geisel all had multi-hit games for the Eagles.

In game two, the Vikings went back and forth with the Eagles, exchanging runs in each of the first four innings. A four-run fifth inning for the Vikings had no answers from the Eagles, giving them a lead they would not relinquish. Both teams struggled in the field during the second game, combining for eight errors including five for the Eagles. Bennett Isaacson-Krueger went 2-4 with two RBi for the Vikings with Aaron Brey, Cameron Munao, Lindgren, and Beckett Johnson also driving in runs. Jandrin continued his success on the day in the second game, going 3-4 with three RBI. Isaac Baudhuin, Beck, and Geisel also drove in runs for the Eagles.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings beat the Coleman Cougars 8-1 on Friday, beating them for the first time since 2014.

The Vikings scored their first run in the opening inning and returned the next frame. They put the game away in the fourth inning, taking advantage of two errors to go along with their five singles to plate four runs in the frame. The Cougars mustered only run as an answer to the Vikings' big blow.

Brady Kita led the way with two RBI and three hits in four at-bats. He also stole four bases in the game. Bennett Issacson-Krueger, Aaron Brey, Jaxin Lindgren all had two hits while Liam Lindenberg and Cam Munao knocked in runs along with Issacson, and Brey. With a conference doubleheader against Southern Door on deck for Saturday, the Vikings used six pitchers in the win. Aaron Brey got the 'W,' but it was Liam Lindenberg that led the way with two innings of one-hit ball while striking out five. 

The doubleheader begins at 11 a.m. in Fish Creek.

The Gibraltar softball jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but gave up at least three runs in each inning after that to lose to Coleman 19-4 in four innings on Friday.

The Vikings scored their two runs by taking advantage of three straight errors followed by a fielder's choice by Anna Jarosh and a ground-out by Addison Richmond. The Cougars would go on to abuse the Vikings' parade of pitchers, doing the most damage against Pam Prescott (1/3 innings, three hits, six runs, five earned) and Emilie Glocke (2/3 innings, two hits, four runs, four earned). The Vikings would score single runs in the third and fourth innings, only to be greeted by six more from the Cougars. Prescott, the Jarosh sisters, and Courtney Foy each collected hits in the Vikings' loss.  The Cougars had five players drive in at least two runs, led by Alyssa Hoida's four RBI.

The Vikings are back in action at home on Saturday when they host Southern  Door for a doubleheader at 11 a.m.

On Tuesday, the Gibraltar girl's track team sprinted through tough conditions in Algoma for a second-place finish.

Hayden Knudson (200m and 400m), Aria Nordahl (1600m), and Mikala Gorham (long jump) posted wins for the Vikings, along with four runner-up performances.

The boys saw the 4x200m relay team of Sean Neal, Will Lecy, Giovanni Mercier, and Braden Sitte win, along with four other top-two finishes.

Gibraltar/Washington Island did their work early on the baseball diamond in a 5-0 win over Roncalli on Monday.

An RBI double by Bennett Isaacson-Krueger, an RBI groundout by Cameron Munao, and a RBI single by Jaxin Lindgren staked the Vikings to an early 4-0 lead. Isaacson-Krueger added to the lead in the next inning with another double and his second hit. Brady Kita also had two hits, while Marshall Maltby and Mason Isaacson-Krueger also posted hits.

Kita didn't need much else as he went the distance, allowing six hits while striking out five. His defense behind him was also on point as they executed a pickoff play and turned three double plays.

McKailey Reisen was the top performer for the Gibraltar track teams at the Denmark Cold Vike Invite on Saturday.

Fresh off her signing day on Friday, Reisen won the high jump and 100m hurdles while Bella Jones provided the other Top 3 performance for the Vikings.

The boys finished outside the Top 8 in all but one of the events. The 4x200m relay featuring Giovanni Mercier, Kayin Jackson, Sean Neal, and Will Lecy took fifth place overall.

Ahead of the Denmark Cold Vike Invite on Saturday, Gibraltar's Braden Sitte and McKailey Reisen made their college plans official on Friday afternoon.

The pair signed their National Letters of Intent. Reisen will continue her track career at UW-Eau Claire, while Sitte will return to the gridiron as a defensive back at UW-LaCrosse.

Sitte set records in the other two phases of football, but his size and athleticism made him a great prospect to play defensive backfield for the Eagles. Coming off of two wins in the 100m and 200m earlier in the week, Sitte says it is all about using the track season to get faster so he can prepare for quick wideouts at the Division 3 level.

Reisen will get to build on her success in the hurdles and jumps events as she changes shades of blue for Blugolds next year. A state qualifier last year, Reisen is looking forward to competing at the next level.

Saturday's invite begins at 10:30 a.m. We will have coverage of the meeting on Saturday evening.

The Gibraltar Vikings baseball team rebounded from a 9-5 loss in game one to win game two 9-7.

In game one, the Vikings jumped out to a 3-0 lead through 1 1/2 innings thanks to RBI hits from Owen Dannhausen and Luke Rericha. The tide turned quickly after that as the Wolves scored nine of the next 11 runs to win the game. A two-run error, a two-run double from Carlson Leist, and run-scoring singles from Braeden Leist and Grant Vandervest proved to be the difference. Chase Romdenne, Charlie Prokash, and Braeden Leist had multi-hit games for the Wolves, while Aaron Brey went 3-4 with two RBI to lead the Vikings. The Leist brothers combined to allow five runs on nine hits and eight strikeouts. Brey took the loss as he allowed eight runs (3 ER) on 11 hits while striking out four.

Both teams scored in bunches in game two, with the Vikings having the final laugh for the win. The Vikings had three runs in the first and fifth innings and two in the fourth inning, while the Wolves scored a pair in the third, fifth, and sixth. Max Isaacson-Krueger led the offense for the Vikings, going 1-3 with three RBI. Cameron Munao drove in a pair on two hits, joining Max Maltby as the other Vikings with multiple hits. Carson Leist and Charlie Prokash each drove in two runs, with Leist going a perfect 4-4 from the plate and scoring two runs. Parker Lischka went 2-3 with an RBI, one of six Wolves players with an RBI. Bennett Isaacson earned the win, allowing seven runs (5 ER) across 6 1/3 innings while getting three punchouts. Charlie Prokash took the loss as he allowed five runs (4 ER) on six hits while striking out nine.

The Gibraltar Vikings scored in the first inning before the Mishicot Indians took control in a 13-3 victory Thursday afternoon in non-conference baseball action.

The Vikings drew blood first with a first-inning RBI single by Owen Dannhausen at the bottom of the opening inning. The Indians responded in a big way in the top half of the second inning with eight runs, chasing starting pitcher Brady Kita had just 1 1/3 innings. The Indians would add two more runs in the fourth inning and three more in the fifth inning before the Vikings would score again. RBI knocks by Aaron Brey and Jaxin Lindgren ate into the Indians' advantage a little bit, but it was not enough to prevent the game from ending early due to the rout.

The Vikings will head down the peninsula on Friday to play a doubleheader against the Algoma Wolves. After opening the season at Capital Credit Union Park in a 10-3 loss to Green Bay Preble, they were nipped in their last game 2-1 by St. Mary Catholic on Tuesday. First pitch is slated for 4 p.m.

Braden Sitte and McKailey Reisen piled up the points for the Gibraltar track teams at Tuesday's Sevastopol quad meet.

For the boys, Sitte won the 100m with a personal record, the 200m with a season-best, took third in the long jump, and helped lead his relay team to a second place finish. WIll Lecy (100m, 200m) also earned top three finishes. 

On the girls' side, Reisen won the high jump and 100m hurdles. Also cracking the top three for the Vikings were Bella Jones (100m, long jump), Hayden Knudson (200m), Rose Stackhouse (3200m), and Josie Martin (discus).

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings jumped on the Sevastopol Pioneers for 13 runs in the first two innings. They never looked back, defeating the Pioneers 19-2 in the first game of a scheduled doubleheader.  Braden Kita scored two-for-two, scored four runs, and knocked in four to lead the Viking attack.  Giblartar took advantage of 15 walks by four Pioneer pitchers.   Bennett Isaacson and Aaron Brey also had two hits. Liam Lindenberg had two RBIs.  The second game was suspended due to darkness, with the Vikings leading 4-0 after three innings.

The Gibraltar softball team dropped its third straight on Monday by double figures, losing to Roncalli 13-0.

The Jets scored eight times in the second inning to put the game in danger of ending early. Three more runs in the fourth and a tally in the fifth made it three straight games the Vikings allowed at least 12 runs to start the season. They lost 12-2 to Boyceville and 12-1 to Columbus Catholic over the weekend. Three Jets players had multiple hits, and five drove in at least one run. The Vikings got hits from Pam Prescott and Abby Jarosh. Emile Glocke allowed 11 hits and 13 runs ( 4 ER) across five innings while striking out four.

Gibraltar's McKailey Reisen picked up the majority of the points in the team's appearance at Friday's Pam Kjono Invite in Manitowoc.

Reisen won the 55m dash in the 55m hurdles and the high jump to pace the Vikings. Hayden Knudson posted the only other top-10 performance with a personal record in the 200m relay.

Gibraltar's Braden Sitte did not let a scratch in the long jump affect the rest of his day at the Hebert Invite in Manitowoc on Thursday.

Sitte took second in the high jump with a personal record and was part of a 4x200m relay that took third at the meet. Will Lecy was also on that relay as he posted a pair of top-five performances, including his fifth-place finish in the 200m dash. 

The girls will make their appearance in Manitowoc on Friday.

The Gibraltar Vikings participated in the Oconto Falls Indoor Track meet at Oconto Falls High School on Tuesday afternoon to start the 2024 campaign.  The Gibraltar boys finished fourth with 27 points, while on the girls side, Gibraltar had 51 points while finishing third.   Individually, Gibraltar’s Braden Sitte tied for first in the 45 yard dash, second in the long jump, and took third in the 200 meters.  

In the girls meet, Gibrlatar’s McKailey Reisen won the 55 meter hurdles while Mikala Gorham took third in the high jump.  According to Coach Clayton Buske, Reisen’s 7.5 second 55 meter hurdles broke the previous facility record at Oconto Falls held by Liz Butler from Southern Door since 2008.

Oconto Falls swept the boys and girls meets with scores of 171 and 201, respectively.

The Vikings went the first seven-plus minutes without scoring a point, while William Kelley, Truth Setner, and Dustin Williams helped the Bobcats jump out to a 17-0 lead. Braden Sitte would catch fire later in the half, but not before the Bobcats could extend their lead by as much as 23 points before a half-court buzzer-beating three-pointer sent the Vikings into the locker room down 35-19.

Head coach Travis Ward said Sitte's buzzer-beater inspired the Vikings at the beginning of the second half, going on an 11-3 run thanks to clutch shooting from Brady Kita and Marshall Maltby on the line.

The Bobcats never let the Vikings get the deficit to under eight points. They hit 18 free throws in the second half to keep them at arm's distance the rest of the way. Kelley and Trent McLain poured in 17 points apiece, and Williams added 16 points in the win for the Bobcats. Sitte fouled out with 24 points in his final game as a Viking, with fellow senior Maltby chipping in eight points and Marco Jauregui coming in at the end to score five points.

The Vikings end the season 6-19 overall with a chance to return most of their team outside of their top scorer and rebounder.

The road to Madison will take a familiar detour for the Gibraltar boys' basketball team as they open the WIAA Tournament on the road at Florence on Tuesday night.

The Vikings snapped a four-game losing streak on Saturday, beating Hilbert 45-39. The Vikings had to capture the win in comeback fashion as they found themselves down at the break 20-15 thanks to seven first-half points by Brody Hein. Braden Sitte and Liam Lindenberg led the comeback as they scored 25 of the Vikings' 30 second-half points to send the team into the tournament victorious. Sitte scored 22 points in what could be his final home game, while Lindenberg poured in 15 points with three three-pointers.

The Bobcats snapped a three-game losing streak of their own with a 72-26 win over Bowler in their regular season finale. William Kelley (24.7 ppg) leads a Bobcats attack that cracked 75 points four times, including a 95-47 victory over Bark River-Harris (MI).

Tuesday marks the third time in the last six years the Bobcats and the Vikings have met in the tournament, with all previous meetings taking place in Florence. The Vikings won 59-39 last season behind 21 points from Carl Burgess and 14 from Braden Sitte, and 70-41 in 2019. However, the Bobcats got the last laugh on the gridiron this school year, beating the Vikings 52-0.

Tim Kowols will have the call from Florence on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the tip-off at 7 p.m. The winner will take on the winner of Niagara/Lena on Friday.

The Gibraltar Vikings will enter tournament week on a high note after beating Hilbert 45-39.

The Vikings had to capture the win in comeback fashion as they found themselves down at the break 20-15 thanks to seven first-half points by Brody Hein. Braden Sitte and Liam Lindenberg led the comeback as they scored 25 of the Vikings' 30 second-half points to send the team into the tournament victorious. Sitte scored 22 points in what could be his final home game, while Lindenberg poured in 15 points with three three-pointers. Hein ended his day with 12 points, while two teammates complemented him with eight points.

The Vikings are back in action on Tuesday in Florence, a game that will be broadcast on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.

The Gibraltar Vikings boys' basketball team will play the final regular season game for the entire area on Saturday when they welcome Hilbert to Fish Creek.

The Vikings have lost four straight games since they swept a weekend set against Sevastopol and St. Lawrence Seminary earlier this month. That includes a 54-24 loss to Menominee (MI) Thursday night. Braden Sitte was the lone Vikings player to reach double figures with 10 points. Aaron Brey added five points and Will Lecy contributed four more in the loss. Saturday's game will include festivities for the team's two seniors, Braden Sitte and Marshall Maltby. Senior Day had to be rescheduled after Maltby became ill and missed two games against Sturgeon Bay and Algoma. Head coach Travis Ward salutes Sitte and Maltby's effort during a memorable time during the program's history.

The Wolves come into the matchup fresh off of snapping a five-game losing streak with a nail-biting 38-36 win over Sheboygan Christian. Kaelin VandenWyngaard leads the team in scoring 14.3 points per game and is second in rebounding with 5.5 boards per game. This will be the first of two straight games against Packerland Conference opponents for the Wolves as they will open their WIAA Tournament run against NEW Lutheran.

Tip-off is set for 2:30 p.m.

The Vikings will then focus on the tournament when they travel to Florence to take on the Bobcats for the second straight year. That game will be covered from Florence on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the tip at 7 p.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings were outscored 17-2 in a decisive third quarter as they went north of the border in a 54-24 loss to Menominee (MI) Thursday night.

Head coach Travis Ward complimented the Maroons' defense and physical play that kept his team off kilter all night long, adding that he thinks they could make a run in the Michigan State Basketball Tournament. Braden Sitte was the lone Vikings player to reach double figures with 10 points. Aaron Brey added five points and Will Lecy contributed four more in the loss. The Maroons were led by Tanner Theuerkauf with 19 points and Conner Coduti with 12. 

A McKailey Reisen putback with 6.5 seconds left in the game drowned out four years of agony in the WIAA Tournament as Gibraltar beat the higher-seeded Niagara Badgers 45-43.

Neither team could get much going offensively in the first half as both teams went nearly five minutes without hitting a shot from the field. Slowly but surely, the Vikings and Badgers players found their stride, with Niagara's Sydney Swanson and Gibraltar's Andie Schar and Anna Jarosh able to hit baskets. Mikala Gorham gave her team a huge boost heading into the break when she converted on a three-point play at the line to give the Vikings a 19-17 advantage at the break.

The Vikings would have to weather the Badgers' attack early in the second half as Mallory and Bristol Sanicki combined to hit five of their six three-pointers in the opening minutes as they built an eight-point lead. The free throw line and offensive rebounding helped the Vikings claw back into the game and even take small leads into the latter stages of the game.

Bristol Sanicki would add drama to the game's final moments when she hit a corner three-pointer to tie the game at 43 apiece. That's when a missed shot and an offensive rebound and put back from Reisen became the game-winner as the Badgers' final attempt came up empty, giving the Vikings their first playoff win in four years.

The Vikings were led in scoring by Andie Schar's 15 points, which were complemented by 12 points from McKailey Reisen and 10 points from Mikala Gorham. The Sanicki sisters combined for 23 points, including eighteen from behind the arc, in the loss for the Badgers.

On Friday night in Institute, the tenth-seeded Vikings will now face a familiar opponent in the Sevastopol Pioneers. The Pioneers dominated St. Thomas Aquinas 65-7 on Tuesday, not allowing the Cavaliers to score in the second half. The Vikings lost both matchups to the Pioneers during the regular season. The game will air on 105.1 The GOAT, 96.7 WBDK, and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings will have an opportunity to avenge last year's exit in the WIAAs when they travel to Niagara for the second consecutive season.

The tenth-seeded Vikings won their tenth game of the season on Saturday with a 67-27 victory over Stockbridge. It marked their second win in three tries and it is more wins than the program has had over the last three seasons combined. Andie Schar and Mikala Gorham have been a potent one-two punch for the Vikings, leading the team in scoring and rebounding. Head coach Evan DeBroux is confident that his team is ready to shine come tournament time.

The Badgers come into the game dramatically different than the team that beat the Vikings 48-32 in Niagara in last year's WIAA Tournament opener. Only five team members that made the regional final are back, accounting for only five of the 48 points against the Vikings. All five of those points belonged to Mallory Sanicki, who leads the Badgers this year in scoring with 12.8 ppg and rebounding at 9.2 rpg. The Badgers went from 21-6 last year to 11-13 this year and have lost four straight games. 

Tim Kowols will make the trip for 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com, with the pregame show airing at 6:45 p.m. followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.
